Jacopo Torni, a talented fresco painter, harbors a burning ambition to leave his mark on the world. However, while his peers secure lucrative commissions, Jacopo is burdened with menial painting tasks to settle his mounting gambling debts.
Learning of a prestigious competition for crafting Florence's most renowned sculpture, Jacopo places all his bets on a collaboration with his childhood friend, the esteemed Michelangelo Buonarroti. Yet, can Jacopo break free from the overshadowing brilliance of his immensely talented companion?
